+ bool "Use 4K device block size?"
+ depends on SQUASHFS
+ help
+ By default Squashfs sets the dev block size (sb_min_blocksize)
+ to 1K or the smallest block size supported by the block device
+ (if larger). This, because blocks are packed together and
+ unaligned in Squashfs, should reduce latency.
+
+ This, however, gives poor performance on MTD NAND devices where
+ the optimal I/O size is 4K (even though the devices can support
+ smaller block sizes).
+
+ Using a 4K device block size may also improve overall I/O
+ performance for some file access patterns (e.g. sequential
+ accesses of files in filesystem order) on all media.
+
+ Setting this option will force Squashfs to use a 4K device block
+ size by default.
+
+ If unsure, say N.
